"Census" is a tool to evaluate some current position of a phenomena and another great tool to forecast future of the same phenomena within a region.
Unfortunately, PACS/RIS installations in Kuwait were neither done based on info. nor based on a clear plan.
Moreover, lack of intercommunication in MOH resulted that many hospitals in Kuwait has more than one PACS/RIS. In fact, there is a one hospital in Kuwait which has Four PACS systems.
"There is a one hospital in Kuwait which has Four PACS systems"
For this reason, Q8PACS is calling for PACS/RIS census for all Public and Private hospitals in Kuwait and calling for your kind support by participating in below questionnaire.
Fig.1 shows prelimenary results of Kuwait PACS/RIS census 2009 showing total no. of PACS, RIS in Kuwait for Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, Cardiology specialties (e.g. echo, interventional, etc..).
Preliminary results show that Kuwait have 16 PACS installations, and 14 RIS installations. Among 16 PACS installation 3 installations only are in private hospitals while others are all in public ones.
" Kuwait have 16 PACS installations, Only 3 of which are in private hospitals "
This Census "Q8PACS Census 2010" will run on three phases. Phase(I) will count the existing PACS/RIS systems, phase(II) will conduct censuing for PACS/RIS setup(i.e, Storage capacity, Network speed, etc..) while phase(III) will count the PACS vacancies.
Again, this census will help in evaluating our current position and will help in assessing our position in the future.
